Handloom pavilion

The Handloom Pavilion was the first structure completed by Correa’s office. It was built in six months and finished in 1958. The walls are made out of brick and mud and the roof is made of cloth. This was done to reflect pavilions seen in the region. This building was driven by climate considerations like many of Charles Correa’s designs. I think the design is unique. From the outside it looks like a box, but from the inside it is a maze that designs the experience of the building. The flow of the overall experience is dictated by the design, which allows each person to see the structure the way it was constructed to be.
